Theme: Longing

Madhubala

She alliterates with
Memory, music and the magniloquent style,
Growing out of a malmsey drunk moment
Into a photomontage,
Extending into the millennium,
Slicing feelings like the plaintive call
Of the cuckoo in the mango tree.

Her manqu' Dehalvi persona
Falls like a therapeutic moonlight
Stretching in madescent chiaroscuro
Beyond her skirt,
Masterminding a coup of longings
For an impossible world of mimetic art
Through half-remembered melodies.
